house and rope

Dune · April 07, 2016, 02:22:58 AM

The house has largely been built, but I'm struggling with the ropes. I need to show several sorts of attachments between beams, and wonder if any of you know a good and not too hard way to make rope around the meeting ends of beams... in LW.

Next WIP. Some anchored pops of special grass (not that special) and dead heatherbranches were used for the back roof coverage and the front 'wall'. Still have to do the ropes, but I will probably just paint them in.

Very nice, that rope utility didn't help?

Not yet, it's 50 dollars and just for some occasional ropes... so I hope to find another way

Ulco i remember how you first begun to make your own objects here around.
Quite a difference

Looks nice.

By the way you can do it without a plugin like this:

That plugin is easier of course.

Thanks Kadri. I found that tutorial also earlier today. But I think I'll just paint them in. They're small, and about 25 of them, so I guess it's more work to 3D them. And yes, I think I've come a decent way over the years regarding modeling. I think it's great fun, trying to overcome obstacles, solving 'problems'.

Looks good - great textures and your figures are convincing.

Yeah no need for it especially when you know to paint

Indeed, that'd require a commission, specially in Bobby World, to make it a rational purchase....

Just playing with the building, which is not yet finished.
